Melvil® knowledge exploration

Navigating through knowledge spaces

Due to the rapidly increasing amount of data, the need for an intuitive and comprehensible navigation mechanism is increasing. Applications based on Web 2.0 aim to filter specific knowledge from all available information and to simplify the retrieval and transfer of knowledge.

The original idea is that every user has his/her individual knowledge space*. Each of these spaces can be used collectively, changed and extended. Thus, one's own knowledge can be extended by taking over facts from others' knowledge spaces.

The use of custom-built and highly intuitive navigational aids supports this process (information retrieval, extension and sharing of knowledge spaces) and they offer a useful possibility to perform this task.

*Knowledge space | uma`s understanding

A knowledge space is a structure which reflects the level of knowledge perceptible to an individual. This space is obtained by combining own's own expertise with the knowledge of others.
